Cavity hole (golosnik), promotes the formation of sound. Rosette, corners - decorative inlay. 

Pantsir - shield, protecting the deck during the game (on the tools of mass production is usually absent). 

Facings (Shtap) - wooden edging, framing the deck. 

Stand (filly) - lower bracket strings, which transmits vibrations to the soundboard. Held in place by the pressure of taut strings, which at its upper rim made the slots - the slots.The lower threshold of fixes the position of the strings. 

The buttons (bridge pin) are used to secure the lower ends of the strings. 

The circle is designed to accommodate the buttons. 

Body - the convex part of the body, consists of the backs and bottoms, which is assembled from planks - staves. 

neck - the handle on which the pasted lining - bracket to accommodate modal plates.

Tail neck - continued linings on shell (on the tools of mass production is usually absent). 

frets - Metal Cover profiles on the neck, designed to change the pitch of strings in the game.

frets area- areas between the fingerboard modal plates. Counting them is from the upper thresholds, the number of different balalaika ranges from 16 to 27.

Points - tags to facilitate orientation on the neck, embedded in certain frets: 2, 5, 7, 10, 12 th and others 

Heel - thickening at the lower end of the headstock, fingerboard designed for bonding with the body. 

The upper threshold of - the top bracket of strings, whose position is fixed in its existing slots. Sometimes the front doorsteps cuts so-called installation modes plate, taking on the function of the support strings. 

The head is used for placing mechanics, providing the tension of the strings. 

Kolki (machine heads) set in motion the mechanics. 
Rollers - details of mechanics that serve to consolidate the upper ends of the strings.
